I decorated my white Millennium
This is the one I found on E-bay. I got a great deal on the price, and I didn't have to wait for it. And when it arrived, it was in absolutely pristine condition. But I never liked its appearance, and always thought it needed something to jazz it up a little.
Before:
after:
I know some of you don't like the rose decal, but I do. But I think it needed the stripe across the top to tie it all together.
I've never done this before. I've always liked my steels clean and unadorned, but this one was too clean and unadorned. I think it looks a lot better now.

The horizontal stripe is perfect and sets the styling off completely. Now it looks "finished".
The steel guitar is a hard mistress. She will obsess you, bemuse and bewitch you. She will dash your hopes on what seems to be whim, only to tease you into renewing the relationship once more so she can do it to you all over again...and yet, if you somehow manage to touch her in that certain magic way, she will yield up a sound which has so much soul, raw emotion and heartfelt depth to it that she will pierce you to the very core of your being.

Thanks guys. BTW, My other one is a real beauty.
Structurally and functionally, they are identical, but looking at them side by side, well, you can see the before picture.

Archie, You're right. You guitar doesn't need anything. I would be happier if mine was the same color as yours.
BTW that cute little kitten from last summer has turned into a raving homicidal maniac who wants to pounce on and kill everything she sees. Shoelaces, little pieces of paper, the dog, (a 75 pound German Shepard mix,) me. Last week she brought me a "present" of a mouse she caught.

Stephen, I paid half of what it would cost new, and it was delivered in less than 2 weeks.
We should all be so unlucky.

Doesn't SOUND unlucky when you play her !
Maybe an Erte pic would be more appropriate for that classic sound

This MSA is even prettier than Archie's redhead - and it's not a Milly! Normally, I don't like any kind of gold paint, but this shade is just perfect - couldn't be classier!
